55.
The Cleveland Cavaliers really lost by 55 tonight to the Lakers. On the bright side, at least they didn't lose by 55 to the Pistons, Timberwolves, Kings, or the Nets.
The Cavs are now 8-30 and currently hold the worst record in the NBA. Rock bottom? Yea, I think that's a safe assumption. It's not humanly possible to get much worse. I think the worst part is the fact that the only person that seemed to care tonight wearing Wine & Gold was Alonzo Gee.
No, I don't know who he is either.
The only thing left to do now is trade away Antawn Jamison and Mo Williams for any type of prospects or draft picks we can get, and start the rebuilding process with (hopefully) the #1 pick and a nice chunk of other picks. There's only one player on the team I'd actually want to see the Cavs keep, and that's Anderson Varejao. I honestly see no reason to keep anyone else. If there's a team out there that wants anyone not named Varejao, it makes no sense to not trade them away. There's not a single promising young guy on this team anymore. JJ Hickson doesn't care, Ramon Sessions is terrible, and the rest of the roster is either filled with veterans (Parker/Moon) or D-League talent (Gee/Samuels/Harris/Hollins).
And if Dan Gilbert doesn't think rebuilding is necessary and actually keeps Jamison or Mo going into next season, then it's pretty clear this team needs new ownership. Or contracted. Or moved.
There's really no hope left for this team. No one on the Cavs cares, so none of the fans really should either. It's basically impossible to watch the team even play anymore. The lottery can't come soon enough. Maybe if we can at least get the #1 pick, the hope will go from 0% to around 2%.
Never thought I'd say this, but Spring Training can't come soon enough. Hell, even the Indians are closer to a Championship caliber team than the Cavaliers are now.
